Background: A novel focal lattice-tip catheter allowing the delivery of either pulsed field (PF) or radiofrequency (RF) energy has recently received regulatory approval. The technology features a proprietary 3-dimensional electroanatomic mapping system.
Objective: We describe the first real-world and multicenter experience.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 245 patients followed for about 63 months, those treated with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) showed a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular death compared to those on medication alone.
- * Younger patients (aged 16 or younger) at the time of their first arrhythmia were found to be at a higher risk of experiencing arrhythmic recurrence, despite having a generally positive prognosis when treated with an ICD.
